Eden Hazard, Brian Clough and Eric Cantona: when the beautiful game turns ugly

Eden Hazard was sent off for kicking ballboy Charlie Morgan in last night's
Capital One Cup semi-final second leg as Chelsea crashed out to Swansea.
Here is a round-up of other players and managers sanctioned following
altercations with people, or objects, from off the pitch.

One of the most high-profile incidents in the Premier League's history is undoubtedly Cantona's kung-fu style flying kick on a Crystal Palace fan at Selhurst Park in 1995.

The Frenchman, who was making his way off after already being red-carded, flung himself at a fan in the first row. He was subsequently banned for eight months by the Football Association and fined £20,000 by United and an additional £10,000 by the FA.

Clough had to manage his Nottingham Forest team from the stands in the latter half of the 1988–89 season after the FA gave him a touchline ban for hitting three supporters who had invaded the pitch at the end of a match against QPR.

No charges were brought against him as none of the fans he hit complained to the police. One of the fans later apologised to Clough on national televison and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

The Arsenal manager was sent to the stands by referee Mike Dean at Old Trafford after he kicked a water bottle in disgust in 2008.

Wenger initially refused to concede his position leading to the famous picture of him, with arms outstretched, standing on a wooden stage next to Arsenal's dugout with the nearby United fans sarcastically applauding.
